Josh Jones grew up in Somerset, England. He bought a manual Olympus SLR at the age of 16. Teaching himself from books in the village library, and making countless mistakes on roll after roll of black and white film, Josh learned something of the art of photography. He bought a digital camera aged 21, although this was almost usurped by a plastic toy camera two years later.
Josh studied English Literature at Sussex University, and graduated with first-class honours in 2009. While at Sussex, he became deeply involved in political movements on campus and in London. By the time he graduated, his photojournalism covering protests and grassroots campaigns had been published in local and student newspapers, and online news sites like The Palestine Monitor. He first visited Israel and Palestine in 2008 with the Jordan Valley Solidarity group, and has since returned with friends.
